Why should you get your Air Ducts Cleaned?
Think of your system like the lungs of your home. We inhale our lungs filter the air we exhale. The same thing happens with your HVAC system. The return air sucks in the air and your filter filters that air and distributes the air to the supply and into your home.
There are many reasons you should have your Air Ducts Cleaned some being:
- Rodents & Insects
- Mold
- Pets
- Allergies
- Change of season
- Home Remolding
- Tobacco smoke
- Burnt food
- Everyday Activity
- Bacteria
And many more. We sometimes forget about the indoor air quality our families are breathing why we feel so stuffed up and everyday we create a great deal of microscopic air pollutants of dust, dander, and chemicals we use to keep our homes clean. The National Air Duct Cleaning Association recommends you have your Air Ducts cleaned every two years. I would also recommend having your ducts cleaned after any indoor remolding or construction.
Did you know that 25 to 40 percent of the energy used to heat and cool your homes is wasted? That is money out of your pocket! If your coils are clean and the blower fins are dirty the amount of air produced is greatly decreased and the system must work harder and cost, you more money.
What to look for when your hiring an Air Duct Cleaner. Do not fall for the Air Duct Cleaning Special it is a Scam. They are not Certified and do not clean the entire system. Only about 6 feet into the supply air ducting. If you have them go any further there will be more charges when the job is complete.
